I was just doing some poking around the new American FactFinder, and realize that the areas given here for each of the divisions (urbanized area, MSA, and CSA) actually include both land and water. Is this consistent with how area is given for other metropolitan pages here on wiki, or should be just include the land area? I ask, because Wayne and Macomb counties, in particular, include a lot of water, specifically, Lake St. Clair. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 03:38, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
FYI: There is an ongoing discussion at WP:CFD regarding the names of categories for certain US metropolitan areas, including this one. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013 March 4#Metropolitan areas in the United States. -- Orlady ( talk) 17:14, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Having lived in both Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor, I do not see Ann Arbor as part of Metro Detroit, nor do most Ann Arborites. AnnArbor.com even wrote an article on this: http://www.annarbor.com/news/conan-smith-on-why-ann-arbor-doesnt-yet-see-itself-as-part-of-metro-detroit-and-why-it-should/. I feel that all references to Ann Arbor as part of Metro Detroit should be removed from this article, and it should rather be treated as a satellite city of Detroit, like Flint. Any thoughts?

I'd like to propose changing the population infobox back to the "US Census population" format where it automatically calculates the percentage gain or loss over the decade. In fact, this box also needs to be on the Detroit article, too. To keep this consistent with most other metro pages, the "metro" is always the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). I don't mind keeping information about the CSA in the article, but I think the primary focus should always be on the actual metropolitan area as formally defined by the Census and OMB. There is also really no need to include the city's population history, here. If anyone is vehement against this change, then I would propose using both infoboxes, but putting the "US Census population" calculator in the Demographics subsection. I just think most people would like to be able to see the gains and losses as a percentage and for the box to be more simple. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 11:41, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I've updated the satellite image of the article from the Image form Landsat in 2001 to a more recent image taken by Sentinel-2 this is the image here. Wikihelp7586 ( talk) 23:47, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
With the introduction of the MSA/CSA map by Lrgjr72, the individual county maps are even less necessary. How do we feel about clearing these to declutter that section of the article? Criticalthinker ( talk) 10:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
